The boxes are still under construction but I did post some pictures. The box with the sliding drawer I like the best. I can get two boxes out of a 4'x8' sheet of plywood. Also two 8' 1'' 1/2 for framework. I should use smaller framing stock. The box not painted is the slider. There will be pink foam completely around the boat. All sides and it will be in a foam cradle. Two small handles for pulling the slider out. You can see the area under the sliding board that will hold tools and stuff. I have brass plated hinges and stop locks. I will post additional pictures when completed. I still have to add little feet for the side that drops down to hold it level. A latch lock at the top and paint.
I do put sealer inside the box because of water to seal it and keep it from warping. I having a senior moment, can't think of the stuff I use. Polly something. I hate being old.
Box will be Gray and have the 6 " U-295 in white on sides. Also the Caswell inc. and D & E Miniatures powered like the old' U-552 box in white (see U-552 (My first sub)Album).
I ran into a problem today. After getting the saddle made for the U-295 and placing the boat in the saddle putting the boat inside the box the hinges where in the way to pull the sliding tray out. Nuts. I became apparent the I needed to drop the hinged side a little lower so the hinges will clear the sliding tray. But you get the idea from the pictures. I need to make a trip to Home Depot for material tomorrow.
